Woodworking
& Product Room Activity Hosts
Every
Tuesday and most Wednesdays we hold woodworking events
at the Friendship Center
. Although a variety of
tasks are assigned that include sanding, gluing, painting,
and drilling, the focus is not on the wood. We invite
these volunteers to join in the ‘table’ fellowship
of building relationships with our friends and with
our Lord. Listening and being present to all those
who participate are especially important skills needed
for this role.
 Woodworkers

Center
